May the first nitwit who asks "how do I achieve this effect?" be struck by lightning while lying semiconscious in the road after being run over by a truck.

I don't think it is so much the photography, although that in itself is stunning, it is about the documentation of an disappearing ecosystem/life due to the hands of illegal hunting. I wish the man all the best and blessings in his endeavor.

You mean the black and white/toning/overlay/vignetting/focus/infrared effects?

At any rate, gorgeous work. Unusual poses of the animals from unusually close vantage points with a Zen, Ansel Adams feel. Thanks for the heads-up.
